As a dedicated cinema-goer might say about a highly anticipated sequel: “Here unfolds ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong,’ an ambitious effort to surpass a video game that’s almost universally acclaimed as flawless. I haven’t managed to conquer ‘Silksong’ just yet, so I can’t render a definitive verdict on its superiority over the original, but let me tell you this: it’s a fantastic sequel, delivering everything I craved and more, steering clear of mere repetition.
In my experience thus far, ‘Silksong’ has left me awestruck on several occasions, be it through Hornet’s endearing character or the game’s inventive traversal mechanics. Yet, there are other subtle modifications that have proven surprisingly impactful as well. One such alteration revolves around ‘Silksong’s’ replacement of one of ‘Hollow Knight’s’ most iconic figures: Cornifer, the nomadic cartographer.
